DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Referring to FIGS. 1 a and 1 b, in some implementations, a seat cover frame 10 includes a wire 100, a frame member 200 and a wire retainer 300. The seat cover frame 10 may be adjustable or otherwise adaptable to be used on various types of seats, including infant stroller seats and car seats. The wire 100 may be flexible to conform to different shapes, including the shape of a cover as shown in FIG. 1 a. The wire 100 may be twisted into a compact position for storage, as shown in FIG. 1 b. In the example shown, the wire 100 may be made of steel or any other suitable material and may be partially enclosed in a tube 120. The tube may be made of polyethylene or other suitable material. In other implementations, the wire 100 may be coated with plastic or any other suitable material, or may have a sheathing. The wire 100 includes first and second ends 101, 102, not shown. The wire retainer 300 is configured to hold first and second ends 101, 102 of the wire 100 and the tube 120. The wire retainer 300 is also configured to be inserted into the frame member 200. In the example shown, the wire retainer 300 helps maintain the proper orientation of the wire 100 and helps prevent rotation of the wire 100.
In other implementations, a seat cover frame may be comprised of two wires 100, four wire retainers 300 and two frame members 200. Each wire 100 has two ends, each one of which is configured to attach to wire retainer 300. Each wire retainer 300 is configured to attach to one of the frame members 200.
In other implementations, a seat cover frame may be comprised of a wire 100 and a frame member 200, where the frame member 200 includes a wire retainer 300 as part of the frame member 200.
Referring to FIG. 2, in some implementations, a seat cover 400 may be constructed from cloth, plastic, or any other suitable material. In the example shown, the seat cover 400 comprises a woven fabric 410 and netting 420. The woven fabric 410 may be synthetic and may be waterproof or water resistant. The seat cover frame 10 supports the seat cover 400. The seat cover 400 includes seams 430 for inserting the wire 100 and elastic 440 for covering the frame member 200.
Referring to FIGS. 3 a and 3 b, in some implementations, the frame member 200 may be constructed of plastic, or any other suitable material. The exemplary frame member 200 shown defines a substantially U-shape from a front view; however, other shapes and configurations are possible. The frame member 200 includes a first connector 220 and a second connector 240. The first and second connectors 220, 240 are configured to receive the wire retainers 300. The first and second connectors 220, 240 include openings 260.
Referring to FIG. 4, in some implementations, the wire retainer 300 may be constructed of nylon or any other suitable material. The wire retainer 300 is configured to hold the wire 100 and tube 120 and snap into the frame member 200. The wire retainer 300 includes a first end 320 and a second end 360. The first end 320 includes arms 340 that are configured to engage with the openings 260 of the first and second connectors 220, 240 of the frame member 200. In some implementations, the wire retainer 300 may include openings 380 to improve flexibility, which may help relieve strain and avoid kinking. The exemplary wire retainer 300 shown defines the openings 380 as substantially U-shaped from a front view; however, other shapes and configurations are possible.
Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, in some implementations, the first and second ends 101, 102 of wire 100 include a hook 140 to secure the wire 100 to the wire retainer 300. As shown in FIG. 6, in some implementations, the wire 100 and the tube 120 are held within the wire retainer 300. This configuration may help prevent the wire 100 and the tube 120 from kinking.
Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, in some implementations, the wire retainer 300 is inserted into the first and connectors 220, 240 of the frame member 200 and the arms 340 engage with the openings 260. When the arms 340 engage with the openings 260, the wire retainer 300 snaps into the appropriate orientation and may help avoid rotation of the wire 100. The wire retainer 300 may help with the assembly of the seat cover frame 10. The exemplary seat cover frame 10 shown helps provide appropriate pre-load to the wire 100 and maintains the wire 100 and tube 120 in the appropriate orientation.
A number of implementations have been described. Nevertheless, it will be understood that various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. Accordingly, other implementations are within the scope of the following claims.
